Our faithfull NMMC Rescue Truck, an early 2000 vintage 4WD Dodge Ram, developed problems with its automatic transmission lines late last year. Luckily noone was injured during the rescues and driving that took place before getting the truck into Dr. Dodge, aka Mr. Jeff Van Pelt, and his highly motivated advanced autoshop class at Del Norte High School. The truck apparently was suffering from exposure! Jeff said that simply being out in the elements led to lines corroding and then breaking. His solution? Use brass fittings that will not rust in the future! On behalf of the seals the rescue truck will be able to respond to this year a tremendous NMMC Thank You Del Norte High School and Mr. Jeff Van Pelt!
